University of Phoenix Undercover Operations and Ethics Discussion

 

Respond to these 2 different post..it maybe a question and you just need to answer on how you think about it.

1)Do you think undercover (lying) operations promote faith and confidence in our law enforcement?

2)Ethical Issues are something that is happening in the criminal justice field everyday. One field that stands out more each and everyday is the police force. Having a spot light on them every single day from citizens filming each and everyday. One case that I was researching was not a recent one but one that happened in 2014. A 21 year old college student in Grand Rapids, Michigan was walking between two summer jobs when he noticed some men dressed in black leaning against a black suv. Not knowing these were undercover agents looking for a fugitive that empty boxes of cans and liquor. When stopped he was asked a bunch of questions but never once did they identify themselves as agents. So he thought he was getting robbed after one of the men took his wallet from him. He decided to fight back, and they threw him onto the car and beat him unconscious. Bystanders filming and calling 911. Once uniform police arrived the situation got worse. They ended up having the witnesses delete the videos. Charged him with serious felonies. Tell this day he is still fighting for this rights and trying to put the agents that did this to him away. Something like this should have never happened. Mistaken identity happens to offend in the world. The agents should have first identified themselves and after takimg his wallet it should have shown who he was. Something like this has to be corrected in the broken system. Police officers and agents should be held accountable for their actions, just like citizens are.
